If you want to motivate the next generation of millenial donors, you're much more likely to reach them via text than through any other medium. And older church members will be excited to have such an easy way to donate to your missions.

You've just signed up for our text to donate service, and now you're looking for guidance on how to execute a successful text donation campaign. You may be wondering: What do I do next? How do I ensure I raise as much money as possible? Moreover, you have other duties to attend to, so you don't want to spend all your time fundraising.

This blog post gives you helpful tips for using your shortcode and keyword to raise funds online.

We have created custom PayPal implementations in the past, but we don't really do it anymore. Basically a programmer has to create a web-based form that has the options, and then pass that data to the PayPal checkout form.

There is a lot to consider when choosing your donation payment processor. You will want to determine which features are "must-haves" and which are "nice-to-haves" when making this decision. Each payment processor has its pros and cons, and in the end you'll have to decide which one best meets your fundraising needs.

This page that we send your donors to, which is often a mobile-formatted PayPal checkout page, is called a "donation link." "Link" is just another word for "URL" or "web address." So, when we ask for a donation link, we're asking for the web address, web page, or URL where the donor can actually enter her credit or debit card info and send you funds.
